The Truth of Magic

Chapter 178 Mysterious spirit body

Zhao Xu didn't walk fast because he had to control his pace.

He kept his eyes on the shadow of the change all the time, and if there was anything abnormal, the "fireball technique" of the eternal magic wand in his hand would throw it out mercilessly.

It's just the bush that moved a little bit, and there was no noise after that.

When Zhao Xu got close to the bushes, he stretched out the wooden stick in his hand and explored while being on guard.

But nothing.

It was as if a little rabbit-like animal had disturbed it just now.

At this time, there was the whirring sound of the wind in the forest, accompanied by the shaking of the branches, it was indescribably cold.

The gloomy feeling at night in the countryside is also the reason why those novice mages go offline.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu's cloak, which was almost semi-immune to physical damage, brought him a strong sense of security.

Wearing this cloak, he is equivalent to driving a truck around here, coupled with the invisibility technique, it is even more incomprehensible.

Suddenly, a crow was startled in the depths of the distant jungle and flew towards the sky.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Xu gave up the idea of ​​circling the bonfire as his original intention, and continued towards the direction where the crow flew.

Thanks to his dark vision, he was able to clearly see the direction of the crow.

The path in the forest ahead gradually became narrower. In many places, dense bushes squeezed together, and Zhao Xu could barely get across.

After crossing a stream, Zhao Xu found that he had come to a cemetery.

Except for a few soil bags and tombstones scattered here and there, most of them were stacked neatly in that desolate area.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's eyebrows twitched.

His gaze crossed the forest of tombstones and fell into the depths of the distant jungle, where there was fire.

It would be rather unique to choose a place like this to have a bonfire party.

At this time, Zhao Xu gently took out his holy emblem, and after applying a few protective spells to himself, he bowed slightly and lurked forward.

It wasn't until he approached that he realized that in front of him were five young men and women in their teens, sitting around the campfire, and stones were piled up on the ground to form a crude pattern.

It made the mysterious bonfire in the center a little erratic and indescribably weird.

"Why is this incantation so awkward." One of the fatter young men complained.

Sitting next to him was a woman with freckles. She gently tugged on the sleeve of the young man, expressing that she should not talk too much.

The attire on the freckled woman seemed to have come from the nearby Women's Literature Academy. Many nobles liked to send their daughters there to receive cultural education.

And a tall and thin man stood in front of the bonfire, holding a book in his hand, with a gold-wire mirror frame hanging from the bridge of his nose, with a heavy look on his face.

"Everyone follow me to pray this spell, so that Lisa will hear our call." At this time, the tall and thin man said.

"The undead who sink into the ground, the king who sleeps forever in darkness, the death saint who wanders in the doomsday..."

ceremony?

Zhao Xu, who saw this scene, did not expect that he would see the residents of Arthur performing magic rituals.

It's just that he hasn't figured out whether this ceremony is the resurrection of the dead, or the summoning of the undead.

But generally speaking, for the rituals performed by ordinary people, these two kinds of rituals generally lead to the same result.

Zhao Xu didn't expect that there would be a group of nearby civilian students here, who had nothing to do after eating enough, and ran to the remote tombstone forest to perform magic rituals.

Are you not afraid of really getting into trouble?

Zhao Xu noticed that there were a total of thirty-one pale candles on the outermost concentric circle that were half burned, and those candle tears even adhered to the ground.

The thirty-one candles were nailed halfway to the ground like nails.

This shows that most of the ceremony has been carried out, like a sailboat that has sailed across the ocean, it is not so easy to pull back.

Whenever the ceremony is interrupted, the consequences depend on its own power. Zhao Xu interrupted rashly, and it was likely to cause disaster for the few college students in front of him.

However, he wasn't too nervous. With the holy emblem in his hand, he was more or less able to disperse the undead.

If something abnormal happened, he could control it.

Zhao Xu is now equipped with powerful equipment, and his style of doing things is not as desperate as before.

In the whole ceremony, the tall and thin man in the middle recited the incantation first, and then the rest of the four corners followed suit.

It's just that the more Zhao Xu listened, the more something went wrong.

He found that the incantation of the ceremony seemed to be a little off.

Some strange words started to appear.

Zhao Xu, who sensed something was wrong, was already preparing to interrupt the ceremony.

At the same time, he is constantly searching for knowledge and skills.

One of the most serious consequences of interrupting the ritual is to reverse the camp of the person performing the ritual, or directly summon other strange creatures.

Zhao Xu was pinching the seconds while preparing to insert a certain incantation that had been repeated all the time, and stop the ceremony of the group of students.

That's it, until he was about to speak.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew past, absorbing all the heat from the surrounding air.

Then the tall and thin man who presided over the ceremony grabbed a handful of powder on the spot and sprinkled it on the fire.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu was about to shout to stop, but found that the sound could not come out at all.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you failed to save against the effect of the ritual "Silence Technique", and the area fell into a state of silence]

silence!

At this time, the four people who were still chanting the incantation halfway through were also surprised, completely unable to understand what happened.

This effect is similar to the second-level magic "Silence" of the same name.

In addition to making the area within a radius of 6 meters unable to make sound, it can also prevent any spells with "speech" components.

One of the key elements of most of the spells that Zhao Xu learned was spells.

Not even a casting pose or casting ingredients.

But Zhao Xu was very calm at the moment.

The only thing ordinary mages can do now is to run away from this area as soon as possible, or cast a very small amount of spells that do not require words.

But Zhao Xu was different.

The pair of "Teleportation Boots" under his feet can teleport him out of the range of the Silence Technique without any words.

At the same time, he can also consume "Potential Points" to simulate "Silent Spells", a super magic feat that needs to be improved by one level, so that his spells don't use spells

Immediately afterwards, the air, which seemed to have been stagnant, resumed its flow.

The four people who could only open and close their mouths but could not make a sound originally recited the spell smoothly.

Even Zhao Xu noticed that there was another reminder to cancel the silence technique on his dynamic panel.

But he knew it was too late.

The fireworks constantly jumping on the top of the bonfire suddenly emitted a huge puff of thick smoke, and slowly a human figure shrouded in smoke began to appear.

"You summoned me, what are your requirements?"

The voice of the smoky body is very cold, and even the only crimson eyes projected by it have a cold and ruthless expression.

"We want Lisa back." The man standing in front of the campfire said dryly, and then he showed guilt.

"Haha, sure enough, ignorant human beings will only make such stupid requests to me."

At this time, the smoke body let out a deep mocking sound, "But the great me, I am in a good mood today, and I can meet your request."

"Since you know this ceremony, you should know the rules."

At this time, the tall and thin man showed joy, nodded quickly and said: "I know, it is written in the book, I have prepared all the sacrifices for the ceremony."

As he spoke, he quickly put down the book in his hand, lowered his head and picked up the bag that had just been placed on the ground, which contained the corpse of a goat.

"No, it's not enough. Restoring the corpse is one request, and bringing her back is another request. Could it be that you want your girlfriend to live with a rotting body?" At this time, the spirit possessed by the smoke bewitched road.

By the way, it gently pointed to the ground with its fingers, which was where Lisa was buried.

At this moment, Zhao Xu also took out his staff.

He didn't seem to have seen this kind of mysterious spirit that can make wishes in the previous summoning ceremony of the legendary library.

In this case, he has already thought about the reward for solving this matter, which is the book in the hands of the tall and thin man.

According to the legendary library "Ludo", every book with magic power that she didn't collect before can be exchanged for a magic item with her.

"Excuse me, what do you want, as long as I have it, I will give it to you." At this moment, the tall and thin man said anxiously.

"Very well, the great me only needs one thing"

Speaking of the mysterious spirit body that turned into smoke, a ferocious smile suddenly broke out, "That's your friends!"

As soon as the voice fell, the four people who were sitting in the corner following the ceremony fell to the ground with a "plop" on the spot, obviously dead.

The tall and thin man suddenly collapsed, crying and shouting: "No more, I don't want them anymore, I want them back."

At this time, the smoky mysterious spirit body continued to laugh and said, "It's okay, who will make me feel better today."

Immediately afterwards, the four dead people stood up slowly again, but each of them was pale, and their eyes were looking straight at the tall and thin man in the middle.

At this moment, they have all been transformed into zombies.

"Don't worry, your Lisa will come back like them later." The spirit body continued to smile strangely, as if satisfied with the look of the tall and thin man.

"Back in time."

Zhao Xu held the talisman in his hand and said silently.

Immediately, all the surrounding scenes quickly reversed, and the charcoal ash that had been dried up on the bonfire flew back and turned into the original charcoal.

The Yin wind that just flowed past flew back backwards.

The faces of the four people turned into zombies turned rosy, and their cloudy eyes turned again, full of vitality.

They all went back to 6 seconds ago, back to the state before they died and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Zhao Xu glanced at the kneeling man angrily, and shouted at the spirit body in front of him with the staff in his hand, "Get out."

Expulsion!

Zhao Xu looked at the mist that dissipated speechlessly. These days, he could only use the garbage spirits that transformed zombies, and he dared to come here to pretend to be resurrected with a wish.
